New York native Mike Yung has been singing in subway stations for nearly 4 decades. On March 15, 2026, "The Singers," a short film featuring Mike and other subway performers, won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film at the 98th Academy Awards.

Mike sang at the station on 23rd Street and Sixth Avenue in Manhattan for years while many people rushed past without stopping. When he was 18 years old, he had record deals that fell through, and he thought he missed his chance. At 56 years old in 2016, a video of him singing "Unchained Melody" by The Righteous Brothers went viral, which led to him being invited to appear on America's Got Talent. He said, "When I sing in the subway, sometimes people don't have cash. Instead, they come and give me a hug. Sometimes that's better than money. It means you made someone's day. Can't ask for something better than that."

When Mike was standing on the Oscar stage, producer David Breschel handed him the Oscar statue. Mike was visibly emotional while filmmaker Sam A. Davis spoke, and filmmaker Jack Piatt stood next to him. In 2018, Mike went on his first national tour called the "Never Give Up Tour." And now at 65 years old, he is still living up to that name. Mike showed up and gave it everything he had in the subways, and he kept going even when it felt like his dream was fading. But sometimes when you stay ready, you never know when your breakthrough is coming. His story reminds all of us that it's never too late to keep pursuing a dream.

Thought

There was a scene from the Passaion of the Christ where Jesus was being led to the cross and the devil was on the side in the crowd holding what assumed was his baby. This was to show Jesus that he would never let what’s happening to him happen to his baby. This was to get Jesus to resent His Father to blame His Father , to give up, but Jesus understood that although the devil seemed innocent, he was and is always the reason we are ever in the situations we find ourselves. He throws the rock, then makes us look at God, as if God was doing these things to us.

But God is the one who warns us about the devils deception but we think we know more than God, so we dismiss His warnings He gives to us through His Word, through the Pastor even those we encounter throughout our lives. But somehow we always end up blaming God and not the one who through the rock, the one on the side pretending he’s not the reason we are in the situation we are in, the devil, Satan, who the bible says comes not with horns and a pitchfork, but as an Angel of light. A friend, a Pastor, a family member. That’s why the bible say try the spirit by the Spirit to make sure they are of God. Just because I say im a christian doesn’t make me one. The bible says by their fruits, how they live, what they say, you will know who they are.

God is not the reason we’re in the mess we are in; we are here because we ignored the rotten fruit that was on a tree with bad roots. Now he’s like the devil on the side lines watching as if he had nothing to do with what’s going on, pointing the blame at someone else.
Armor up, be blessed, and let God handle your mess. Remember to show love because without love I Corinthians 13 says we are nothing.

Many people are surprised to learn that 13 of the 15 jockeys in the very first Kentucky Derby in 1875 were Black men.

In the early days of American horse racing, Black horsemen were widely respected for their skill as riders, trainers, and caretakers, helping shape what would become one of America’s most famous sporting events.

Riders like Oliver Lewis, who won that first Derby, and later champions like Isaac Murphy, became some of the most successful jockeys in racing history.

As the sport grew and evolved, fewer Black jockeys appeared on major tracks, and many of these early pioneers were gradually left out of mainstream sports history. Today, historians and museums are working to ensure their contributions are properly recognized and remembered.

A powerful reminder that excellence has always been part of the story.

Dr. Angella Ferguson was 100 years old when she passed away on January 6, 2026. She was a pioneering pediatrician whose work transformed the early diagnosis and care of sickle cell disease, creating a blood test still widely used today and shaping treatment guidelines that saved countless lives.

As one of the few Black women physicians of her era, Dr. Ferguson broke barriers in medicine and research, often working in spaces where she was overlooked or underestimated. Reflecting on her mission, she once emphasized the importance of care and dignity, believing that children deserved "early diagnosis, proper treatment, and compassion."

She faced significant hardships, growing up during the Great Depression and working in her school cafeteria to help feed her family. Despite these challenges, she persisted, guided by a belief that "knowledge should serve humanity."

Kunle Olukotun a Nigerian, is a Stanford professor often dubbed the “father of the multi-core processor.” His Stanford Hydra project helped create the first general-purpose multi-core CPU, making the kind of parallel processing needed to train huge AI models like ChatGPT possible. These days, he’s the chief technologist at SambaNova Systems, where they build hardware designed specifically to speed up AI workloads.

David Blackwell was a trailblazing mathematician and the first African American inducted into the National Academy of Sciences. His work in game theory, Bayesian statistics, and dynamic programming still sits at the core of modern machine learning and decision-making systems. To honor his impact, NVIDIA named its latest AI-focused GPU architecture “Blackwell” after him.

With an astonishing ability to count in several languages and solve complex math problems, the toddler Isaiah Gyamfi from Ghana captured global attention. But what makes his story even more remarkable is how he got there, completely self-taught.

Isaiah’s journey began in a nurturing learning environment created by his mother, Jazelle. By exposing him to educational content early on, she unlocked his extraordinary potential. Now, the little boy fluently speaks English, Spanish, French, Italian, Twi, Yoruba, and most impressively, Japanese, which he taught himself in less than 24 hours after watching a YouTube video.

His fascination with languages is matched only by his mathematical brilliance. Isaiah can solve multiplication and subtraction problems while reading, writing, and counting in multiple languages. His mother recalls the moment she realized his exceptional talent: while she was doing dishes, Isaiah watched a phonics video and, by the next day, was counting to 40 in Japanese. - Africa Giant
